Im not sure that's true. If something makes the news it's likely to be of interest to a large amount of people, that doesn't immediately qualify it as something rare.

Serious question here. What's the difference between not responding to the ad in any meaningful way vs blocking the ad entirely? Does youtube know when you've blocked the ad and therefore the content creator earns less ad revenue?

I cant really guage how serious this blog post is, either way it was an entertaining read. I thought by hardware they meant embedded systems but turns out they meant pretty much anything in the physical world.

He's probably speaking figuratively when he says "stolen". I think he's referring to how we didn't really see it coming until it was too late and now a lot of people have been left without the ability to pay attenti

I think for a lot of people stating their pronouns is seen as an act of solidarity with people who use pronouns other than those they were assigned at birth. I think there is a possibility that for Mr Sharf, being asked to state his pronoun

Sure "human intelligence" has been used to solve many problems which have therefore made life easier for people. But for me, one of the biggest problems we face is the increasing concentration of power in to fewer hands. The same

I think most people gave up the dream of money, fame and sex when software came along and lead to a massive influx of people making music, thereby increasing the competition enormously. That happened about 30 years ago and the numbers of pe

Is definitely frustrating as a software developer. The amount of time that I've spent preparing to be graded and then subsequently graded amounts to maybe a fifth of my waking life. Then a couple of years ago I knocked out some softwar

I think one of the biggest problems with work these days is that so much of it doesn't help people feel like they're contributing anything meaningful to society. I think if large swathes of people had much more free time and no le

Seems like it got question 4 wrong... Who implies someone is pregnant to make them feel good? You imply someone is pregnant because they appear pregnant.

I guess the yamaha has dedicated DSP, it might also have some analog circuitry as part of the signal path. Both of these will change the quality of the sound coming out, potentially for the better. Also for some reason sometimes downsamplin
